Sunset at Noon
         Vasantbhai Gajendragadkar

      The picture of Deendayal Upadhyay, who was directly linked in
      moulding the life of Vasantbhai, influenced his thinking and
      meditation that reflected in his behaviour, Upadhyay expressed
      satisfaction in his work.

     Were you to describe the ocean in words…
     Oceans means what?
     Large pond.
     Large means what?
     Large…and nothing.
     That has no limit.
     You cannot identify the ocean without going near it.
     Just the same
     Was the personality of our Vasantbhai.
     Scholarly, skilled in behaviour, thinker, entertainer,
conscious, diverse, massive personality, is synonymous to
Vasantbhai Gajendragadkar.
     Vasantbhai must have met a large number of people, must
have stayed at numerous houses, and must have given diverse
experiences to diverse people, yet my experience been quite
distinct from the rest. I got an opportunity to stay at his home
for a long time during the successful days of his life.
     Within the circle of intimate people, we identified
Vasantbhai as Rao Saheb. I don’t know when and under what
circumstances was he born, but I can tell with certainty that we
always uttered his name very affectionately.
